Some hardware just won't work with XP. You might say
exactly what you have and trying to do. The equipment mfg'r
may have drivers, adapters or info.

| I have a legacy device and software that worked fine with

| can only recognize the download device on LPT 1, 2 or 3.
| I have connected it to LPT1 and assured the BIOS is set
| to two way communication, but Windows still doesn't
| recognize the device as attached to the port. I
| purchased a USB to parallel adapter cable on the advice
| of someone who said I could configure it to a "LPTn
| bridge". Windows does recognize the device when plugged
| in but I don't know how to configure it as an LPT port.
| Is there any way to do this? I would appreciate any
| replies by e-mail if possible. Thank you.
